First Home Build (tight budget)


Recommended Posts

Hey, I'm looking at making a couple of small towers for gaming, movies, and music. Haven't bought anything yet, but i need ideas and/or reassurance. I'm on a fairly tight budget, and quality stuff would be a preference. I was thinking two towers sitting on separate sub boxes (same idea as Steve's shop build) so i can take the sub boxes and transfer them to a vehicle in the future. Each box with one 8" Kicker L5. Each tower with one Peerless 6.5" mid and any good quality tweeter under $30 a piece. Also, i need a good quality receiver for a tight budget!

This will be my first home build (as the title states), and i need advice. I want this system to last and i want it to sound good. Very open to ideas and help.

Please share your thoughts!

tight budget.. and quality.....

does not compute

also, noobs should stop trying to copy steve as if he's the only person who's done anything.

hey man i'm just looking for ideas. i just like that idea because of the mobility, as i am hoping to put the subs in a car in the future.

and i just want the best sound for a tight budget.

Thats similar to my little setup, i have 2 towers and a single 15 sub box sitting next to the towers, its bigger than the towers cause its a 4th order bandpass box 4ft tall ftw :D
